I was replacing my spark plugs this weekend, and saw this at the top end of the engine.

One wire in, another out leading to that small bolt which is, I assume, for an electrical ground. What it is for, I don’t know. It’s a 2006 Ford Focus, 2.0 liter. Any ideas?

If you have to ask, you don’t need to know.

This picture confuses me, can you point to highlight what part you’re referring to?

This is a capacitor to suppress noise from the voltage spikes from the ignition. You should replace it. This one looks similar:

It’s an RC car. That loose looking wire is an antenna for remote controller.

Elon Musk has the controller.
